Shield is a temporary extra health layer that absorbs damage before HP is affected.


How to gain Shield
You can gain Shield in several ways:
- Some abilities grant Shield.
- If you use Repair and the healing exceeds your total HP, the excess is converted into Shield.
- The Barrier Dynamo weapon generates Shield when it triggers its special.
Shield can never exceed your ship’s max HP, but you can have more Shield than your current HP.
Note: The amount of Shield gained is reduced by Corruption, a Status Effect that weakens healing and Shield gain.
Shield Decay
If you don't gain any new Shield for 7 seconds, Shield Decay begins. This rapidly drains your existing Shield over a few seconds.
Any time you gain new Shield, the decay timer resets. Some enemy abilities can also trigger decay immediately.
Notable ships that use shield
- Prism manipulates Shield in multiple ways: it steals Shield from enemies, gains Shield when pulling with Polarity Bond, and can grant Shield to allies. Prism can also convert Shield into damage with Prismatic Shield.
- Stingray gains Shield from all of its abilities and relies on maintaining high Shield through aggressive play. Don’t underestimate a low HP Stingray — it can turn a fight around by rapidly stacking Shield.
- Mosaic gains shield from its abilities and uses shield to scale its healing capabilities
- Sampan can gain Shield using the Striker augment on Wind in a Bottle, granting Shield for each nearby enemy.
